this is the president's probably single largest scale foreign policy decision, the bin laden raid, a tough call and he's made many other decisions both public and secret. but he -- he campaigns strongly in 2008 oninding down the iraq war and escalating up the afghanistan war. he sent 30,000 -- 33,000 american troops there and the question is at the end of his term, with the 33,000 troops leaving, what is there to show for it. a lot of people think afghanistan looks today exactly like it did in 2008, what did those 33,000 people with all their sacrifices and heroism, what did they specifically accomplish? >> especially now with the, you know, increase in the insider taxes, the green on blue attacks, that will, i'm sure, be asked of him. i want to follow up with you moving away from foreign policy and specifically two more questions you ask for president obama on the economy. republican speechwriter david frum posing the questions again on our website. so number one, you asked why shouldn't americans blame you for the meager record since the economic recovery began more than three year
